Broken Up

Some ice near the shore line of Lake Ontario in Sodus has broken up recently as seen here in Sodus Point. Large pieces were buckled up and frozen together as the waves had pushed them towards shore. The all day sunshine on Friday made the shore line glisten and sparkle until the sun came to rest.

Who Would Have Thought!

After enjoying a sunny Saturday in Canandaigua, we were driving back to Naples along West Lake Road and spotted swans on the ice. Most were Mute Swans but one was a Trumpeter Swan with a yellow wing tag, J68. It was the same bird I had seen in Canandaigua’s Lagoon Park on January 9, 2014 and had posted a picture on FingerLakes1.com at that time. Checking out the tag, I found the swan is part of a banning program performed by the Trumpeter Swan Restoration Group in Ontario, Canada. So what are the odds that I would encounter this lovely bird once again, on a different area of water, 25 miles from where I saw it last?

Ditched

This big truck crossed the yellow lines coming around a curve in the town of Sodus on Thursday spilling its load and causing a full day of Rt.104 to be shut down. Here you can see the fireman shoveling the feed that will go into a bucket to be dumped into a dropped off dumpster.
